Mentoring System

Indian Development Foundation’s Student Leadership Programme (SLP) is a 16-hour powerpacked programme. 7 days of life-skill training and the eighth day is for certificate presentation to all the students. The volunteers will be trained in two/ three sessions and they will be called as mentors. The mentors will have to conduct sessions in schools assigned by the IDF. Their main objective is to inculcate leadership skills in the students. Hence, we, SAKEC students, have stepped in to help them. The project includes a web application which will help to connect to colleges for mentors and the schools who wish to be a part of SLP. Sessions can be created and approved. Automatic certificate generation takes place at the end of the sessions. Feedback given by the mentors is analysed to find the positive and negative comments and also the accuracy of the algorithm used for the analysis.

Life Skills Education

Adolescence is a period when the intellectual, physical, social, emotional and all the capabilities are very high, but, unfortunately, most of the adolescents are unable to utilize their potential to maximum due to various reasons.  They face many emerging issues such as global warming, famines, poverty, suicide, population explosion as well as other issues like alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking, juvenile delinquency, anti-social acts, etc. that have an adverse effect on them and others too, to a large extent. The cut-throat competition, unemployment, lack of job security, etc. are some of the major concerns for the educated and as a result, they are caught in the mad race.  This new challenge requires immediate and effective responses from a socially responsible system of education. ‘Education’ is important, but education to support and live life better is more important. It has been felt that life skills education bridges the gap between basic functioning and capabilities. It strengthens the ability of an individual to meet the needs and demands of the present society and helps in dealing with the above issues in a manner to get desired behavior practical. Imparting life skill training through inculcating life skill education will help youth to overcome such difficulties in life. The present paper focuses on the importance of life skills education and the benefits of imparting life skill education in our curriculum i.e. developing social, emotional & thinking skills in students, as they are the important building blocks for a dynamic citizen, who can cope up with future challenges, and survive well.

Favorable Light

A role-playing format was used to determine the effect of skill training in the use of leadership acts previously found to be critical. These were: (1) the degree to which the discussion issue is posed as a problem rather than a solution and (2) the readiness to share available data. Trained leaders were not permitted to make suggestions or to favor a solution. Their role was to accept ideas without evaluating them. The problem situation involved a foreman who would like to have three crew members change their work procedure so as to increase production. In 25 groups the leader was trained in the two above-mentioned leadership skills, and in 29 groups the leader was untrained. The solutions were of three types: (1) Old method, or refusal to change; (2) New method, indicated by the time-study data; and (3) an Integrative method which assimilates the facts and feelings of conflicting parties and, in addition, requires innovation. The Trained leader groups produced 68.0% Integrative solutions in contrast to the Untrained leader groups 10 3% The acceptance of their group decisions were significantly higher than in the Untrained groups, and the members of the Trained leader groups perceived their leaders in a more favorable light. The important variable in the Trained leaders was their skill rather than their knowledge.

The Impact

Adolescence is the most critical phase of an individual. The highly competitive world of today and the absence of traditional norms and support have heightened the stress among adolescents resulting in multiple issues such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, rejection, diffidence, anger, confliction in interpersonal relationship, alcohol abuse and criminal behaviour. As a baseline study, Behaviour issues due to delay in milestone development was assessed and it was identified that there were no serious delays catered to the behavioral issues of adolescents. But through discussions with the primary kin and important others, it was identified that environment and the highly competitive world has heightened the behavioral and cognitive problems among adolescents. Therefore Life Skills is seen as a vaccine to protect the child from exposure to various hazards. The present study attempts to find out the impact of the life skill intervention among adolescents and assess their changes in the behaviour in their approach to critical life events. Through this study researcher tries to test the relationships between independent and dependent of life skill training (intervention) on the behavioral and cognitive changes of adolescents to critical life events using experimental research design. The data was collected from the 50 adolescent students, and data analysis was done through student’s t- Test for reaching to the findings. It was found that post- life skill training; there was substantial improvement in their level of cognitive skills such as self-awareness, creative thinking, critical thinking, decision making and problem solving. And these improvements paved the way for the students to have a better behaviour towards their critical life events. Hence, it was concluded that there is visible impact of life skill training on the behaviour as well as thinking pattern of the adolescent.
